President Trump said Thursday he’s still weighing the idea of giving Americans up to $2,000 in rebates derived from the revenues his tariff agenda has generated.
Trump’s proposal to share some of the hundreds of billions of dollars the federal government has collected since he slapped foreign nations with steep levies in April comes as the Supreme Court is slated to hear arguments in a case next month that will decide whether the president has the power to impose such sweeping global tariffs.
“They’re just starting to kick in,” Trump said of the tariffs in an interview with One America News Network, “but ultimately, your tariffs are going to be over a trillion dollars a year.”

I would say use it to pay down the Debt, but without huge spending cuts it won’t make any difference.
Meant to buy 2026. But yeah, a bad idea for our country.
A prediction that there will be no rebate checks.
“”Please no. Please? Dumbest idea I can think of.””
Uh... once the national debt is reduced down to zero... maybe then start handing out “free money” to legal citizens. But not unless or until that happens (which logically probably means never).
How about I make my own money?…
I don’t want the money given out at all. But if it is, undoubtedly it will go as welfare to people who pay no income tax, and not to people like me who pays tons of federal income and “doesn’t need” a rebate
If there is even one Dollar of deficit spending in an annual budget, then there is no 'dividend' to distribute.
And in addition any annual budget surplus should be put towards paying down the $38 Trillion National Debt.
I’m sure the checks will be sent right after the DOGE checks.
Still waiting on that $5000 DODG refund...Not seen it yet...
Interest rates will lower that accumulating debt. That debt needs a long term solution. It'll come. Hope 4 years will make a difference.
Paraphrasing:
Money is the Opiate of the Masses.
Or, voters are cheap dates.
Carnac is still alive!!! LOL
“”Probably close to what people had to pay extra under Biden inflation...so it seems fair.
Interest rates will lower that accumulating debt. That debt needs a long term solution. It’ll come. Hope 4 years will make a difference.””
Well all the billions coming in from tariffs should help offset the debt ($37 trillion) a tiny bit. But it needs to be paid down to zero before any more handouts are made. And even IF we took in $150 billion each year over the next three years, that still doesn’t make a dent (only $600 billion during Trump’s 4-year term) in that debt. No, they have to drastically cut spending, too and I don’t see that happening.
“The U.S. has collected $142 billion from tariff revenue so far this fiscal year, which ends in September,
SCREW THAT, PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT DOWN
We need to win the midterms in 2026. Trump is not trying to get voters in California and New York to support him. He is trying to solidify his support from flyover America.
For mid-term election year 2026 a ‘perfect’ idea.
Use tariff revenue to help fund SS and make solvent for a long time
